Show COLLAPSE OF THE KEELY MOTOR IT LOOKS as aa if the keely motor were definitely snuffed out at last one of the workmen employed by the inventor for several years having divulged the principle on wb which ich the alleged motor is constructed it only remained for that to occur to put an an end to the careers a contrivance tr ivance whose feasibility or otherwise has occasioned more comment in the world of letters than have ever any of Edi sons wonderful and useful inventions the motor 11 for some twenty years past has been hanging anre 1 in keeles shops and so well had he be guarded his bis secret that nothing was divulged until the occasion above referred to he would permit none of his workmen or any one else to see the entire parts of the machine no one except himself was present at the erection of the whole of iland he no doubt even now serenely believes that no one has seen the drawings the details or the parts i the man spoken of was with keely eighteen years he is a machinist and by sketching parts parte as they were constructed keeping a keen eye on everything long and patient observation and skillful deductions duct ions has succeeded ed in gaining the secret or we might say of pricking the bubble and the certainty that we are soon to hear bear the last of the humbug is gratifying to all As long as there was any pin or hook to hang credulity upon the stockholders were bled and the public were wining willing to extend the one more chance so frequently demanded but in the course of events this kind of thing was destined to have an abrupt ending and the only wonder is that it lasted as long as it didt did the world of science has for many years looked for the coming forth of a plan of propulsion whose principle would embrace all the power precision and susceptibility to control of the steam engine without being so cumbersome so dangerous or so expensive it was this desire that caused credence to ue oe extended and dollars without be poured into keeles lap he certainly made the most of his opportunities and right skillfully has he prolonged them as every newspaper reader in ILI the land is well aware A few words of explanation of abs tbs tb principle itself will be proper at this point the plan upon which all hydra hydraulic ulle apparatus works is that of 0 supplying a stream of water or orbel liquid under a pressure into a 01 inder containing a movable kistoo which the pressure acts against tb this A pressure being equal for equal are areas in all directions thus each square j inch of tb the e internal surface of the OP cyl inder undergoes the same pressure t by forcing water before a plunged fret an inch in diameter with one pound pressure supplied in the first t JO stance by steam created with ft 0 small lamp the pressure upon ft 9 piston in a cylinder ten inches 10 i diameter would be one hundred dundr pounds the motion of the jatter however being only one hundredth part fa fast as the former BY byar ranging a series of connecting CY c J inders and pistons with the pow ponna of each being the square of the prea P J ceding one an enormous pressure i at last generated in a bulb and andl ina J bated on a di althis only being j played to the credulous stockholders stockholder 9 the shortsightedness ignorance 0 knavery of keely is here made doad strikingly manifest for the po generated in the bulb is ot of necessity static not propulsive or transferable for should a very slight particle of water be drawn from the bulb the to pressure would entirely digap pearrill Pe P artill till all the lost motion of the parts was taken up this being accounted for by reason of the difference in pressure in the various places previously referred to every attempt to communicate the power generated would derange the interior workings 8 and the dial would point to ze 4 till a readjustment oc burred ed in ila the various cylinders this is all there is of the new motive power it is the reverse of team steam which though resembling tile oe other in representing a great P pressure r assure to the square inch is only available as a motor when its tion on is transferred from the generator to tile the mechanism to be operated u up P 0 on n vale the keeley motor |
